The SpaceHISTORY:
My name is Rick Dyer. I will be your Host when you come and stay at this very special place known as 'The Gingerbread House'...
Experience the Enchantment of The Gingerbread House... The beautiful Ornate wood carvings you will discover throughout this home were created by John Henry Montgomery. Henry spent the final 20 years of his life making this house into a home by creating the detailed woodwork and ornate carvings on display both inside and outside The Gingerbread House.
Mr. Montgomery loved working with wood. We are told: Each day John created wonderful details, ornate corbels and detailed carvings using his small wood-shop located a short distance from the house. The 1934 Gingerbread house was his life. John painstakingly carved, salvaged and recycled all the wood and detail used in this beautiful Austrian style home. The ornate nearly ten foot (10') Wolf-Dragon found outside the guest bedroom was his final creation for the Gingerbread house before he died. It was designed to be a bird feeder.

.We had a great time at the Gingerbread house. It was a home away from home, so comfortable, clean and relaxing. The beautiful new appliances and extras throughout the home made our vacation. The outdoor hot tub jacuzzi was the highlight. The welcome gift of goodies from local vendors in Julian, the complimentary breakfast at Grannies kitchen and apple cherry cider in the fridge was so nice. We had a great time at the Smith Pioneer Gold mine Tour that was five minutes from the house. It was a two hour tour of the 1850s gold mining adventures,with a ore car train ride, taking you back to the gold mining days. The weather was beautiful and our day trip to the quaint town of Julian was memorable. Thank you so much!
Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review. I believe the Pet-friendly was accidently checked. We do not allow pets for this particular home. Here is only one of many reasons why: In our experience with other vacation rentals that allow pets, there are problems with territorial marking... Your pet may not mark; however, when the next visiting pet smells the prior pet they will mark, etc. Thank you.
The Gingerbread House Is Awesome!

.From the moment we picked up our key we were treated like royalty. They gave us breakfast vouchers when we arrived. We followed someone to the house where we were given a tour and instructions on everything so we were not left in the dark. There were presents waiting for us inside the house. The house is so adorable and has all the modern conveniences. There is a washing machine, and washer and dryer as well as a jacuzzi and all the firewood you need. I simply could not say enough nice things about the house and everyone we were involved with, in the transaction. We can not wait to return.

Owner response: Hi Giulio: Thank you for taking the time to post a review. In order to constantly improve The Gingerbread House... We just added a brand-new (and larger) 50 gallon hot-water heater. Thank you. Kindest Regards, -Rick.

.My sisters and I went to Julian for the first time last week, and stayed at the Gingerbread House. Rick and his team couldn't have been more accommodating, personally ensuring we found the house ok, and showing us where everything was and how it all worked. The little details, like making sure we had a lighter for the fire, and which 3D glasses were the best ones for watching the movies they provided, made it all seem so personal. Rick even treated the three of us to breakfast at the amazing Granny's by giving us vouchers - we wouldn't have known where to go in town without Rick's guidance. The house was beyond spotless, and the jacuzzi outside was the perfect place to watch shooting stars and drink the wine purchased at a local winery earlier that day. All in all, a perfect weekend getaway. We can't wait to come again!
Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Guest Danielle E.
What a beautiful place to call home this weekend! My husband and I wanted to get away for a little romantic getaway and we decided to spend it in Julian. We chose the Nest primarily for the Jacuzzi style spa, and it looked like it was newly remodeled. The decor is so tasteful and thoughtfully done. Lots of birds, hence the name "the Nest"
Loved the jacuzzi under the stars! We felt like we were in our own little world! The lighting in the house was wonderful with dimmer lights throughout, very nice touch! Kitchen was gorgeous!
Rick the owner was great and Maria the property mgr was very sweet too. They had water taffy, gingerbread cookies and a cherry cider for us upon arrival and breakfast vouchers for us well.
We will definitely be back!
Recommended for: Romantic getaway.
Jacuzzi under the stars + Newly remodeled! :)
Guest Colette H.
What an amazing place to call home for a few days! We definitely enjoyed the remodel and all the modern furnishings that came with our stay here! Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, yet we were .8 miles from town. Really enjoyed the jacuzzi under the stars too! We found lots to do during the day - hiking, Lake Cuyamaca (can rent boats or kayaks), gold mine tours, Camel Dairy, and of course walking the downtown area of Julian! Great location to getaway yet be near it all!

The NeighborhoodTHE NEST...
Great location, great views, about a 20-minute walk to the Julian Township!, or drive two minutes into town. Getting AroundYou need a car. Other Things to NoteJulian was founded following the Civil War, when displaced Confederate Veterans from Georgia headed West to seek their fortunes in a new, mostly unsettled land. Among these were cousins Drue Bailey and Mike Julian, who found a lush meadow between Volcan Mountain and the Cuyamacas to their liking. They were there in 1869 when cattleman Fred Coleman found the first flecks of gold in a creek. It was San Diego County's first and only gold rush.
The town was named Julian, in honor of Mike, who later was elected San Diego County Assessor. The town was never big, at the most boasting a population of about 600---more than reside within the historic district today. Rumor has it that Julian almost became San Diego's county seat.
The gold rush was short-lived, nearly over within a decade. But the pioneers stayed and began farming the rich land. While many crops were planted and animals pastured, Julian proved to be a fine place to grow apples. Apples continue to be produced in Julian. Their sweet, fresh flavor lures thousands to the mountains each fall, when visitors will find fruit stands overflowing with crisp fruit, homemade cider and other delicacies.

The SpaceJulian is San Diego's back country gem! Most visitors comment on how peaceful they feel when they have stayed with us. This room is on our 2nd floor. It features 1 queen bed + 1 twin bed and a mountain view. Guest Access9 acres, big deck and patio with Great views, wireless internet, mountain bikes (with release form), dvd/vhs player and big screen ...hiking trails and wine tasting nearby and all of the charm of Julian! Interaction with GuestsDepends on guests' desire for conversation : We can offer suggestions on sightseeing, restaurants, wineries/breweries , etc. -OR- - We are just as happy to provide simple , quiet respite. The NeighborhoodWe are tucked in an area with 4 acre parcels surrounding us and a beautiful view of Volcan Mountain from the whole back porch area of the house. It is very quiet! Getting AroundIt is 1.3 miles to town on Main St. where most of the shops and eating establishments are. We are also very close to wine tasting, apple picking and trails. Other Things to NoteJulian is known as the back country of San Diego and as an original gold rush town from the 1870's. So, all things old timey and new can be found here. The Julian Chamber of Commerce is a great place to start... at town hall or online.

The SpaceThree individual charming private rooms are available for rent at Oak Hill Inn. This listing is for our North and South patio rooms. Each includes a queen bed, private bathroom, private entrance, dining area in room, patio, flat screen TV, toaster, kitchenette, dining ware and utensils, coffee maker, and mini refrigerator.
Our North and South Patio rooms are in a building separate from the main house. These two rooms do not yet have in-room WiFi, but WiFi is accessible in our craftily decorated common room of the main building. Oak Hill Inn has been family owned and operated for over 25 years. The space is hand built! and unlike anywhere else you've stayed. Visitors love the rustic charm and details in each room.
With that in mind, plan your next trip to get away to Julian and take in the beautiful mountain views and smells of fresh air and apple pies. Julian is a great place for a retreat, there is plenty to do: shopping, walking around town, going out to dinner, hiking, wine tasting, horse backing riding, fishing or enjoy a local show or festivity. There are plenty of locally owned shops and restaurants as well.

Take a visit to the many wineries, or check with the host to see if there are any weekend festivals or events going on during your stay! Located just about an hour's drive from San Diego, Julian is a world away. Once a booming gold rush town, Julian escaped boom-town fate because it's climate is perfect for growing apples! Today, Julian is best known for its apple pie, small town appeal, breathtaking mountainscapes, great hiking, shopping, wine tasting and even a few new craft breweries. There's plenty to do, but it's also the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Stay at Oak Hill Inn for the perfect springboard for your Julian retreat! Getting AroundDaily MTS bus service to San Diego, or enjoy a classic horse carriage ride around town. One of the best things about our location is that there is no need for a car to get to town!

My name is Rick Dyer. I will be your Host when you come and stay at this very special place known as 'The Gingerbread House'...
Experience the Enchantment of The Gingerbread House... The beautiful Ornate wood carvings you will discover throughout this home were created by John Henry Montgomery. Henry spent the final 20 years of his life making this house into a home by creating the detailed woodwork and ornate carvings on display both inside and outside The Gingerbread House.
Mr. Montgomery loved working with wood. We are told: Each day John created wonderful details, ornate corbels and detailed carvings using his small wood-shop located a short distance from the house. The 1934 Gingerbread house was his life. John painstakingly carved, salvaged and recycled all the wood and detail used in this beautiful Austrian style home. The ornate nearly ten foot (10') Wolf-Dragon found outside the guest bedroom was his final creation for the Gingerbread house before he died. It was designed to be a bird feeder.

Guest Danielle E.
What a beautiful place to call home this weekend! My husband and I wanted to get away for a little romantic getaway and we decided to spend it in Julian. We chose the Nest primarily for the jacuzzi, and it looked like it was newly remodeled. The decor is so tasteful and thoughtfully done. Lots of birds, hence the name "the Nest"
Loved the jacuzzi under the stars! We felt like we were in our own little world! The lighting in the house was wonderful with dimmer lights throughout, very nice touch! Kitchen was gorgeous!
Rick the owner was great and Maria the property mgr was very sweet too. They had water taffy, gingerbread cookies and a cherry cider for us upon arrival and breakfast vouchers for us well.
We will definitely be back!

What an amazing place to call home for a few days! We definitely enjoyed the remodel and all the modern furnishings that came with our stay here! Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, yet we were .8 miles from town. Really enjoyed the jacuzzi under the stars too!

Great location to getaway yet be near it all!
